connnnsnn To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, MAURICE Lnnr AUG, a citizen of the Republic'of France, residing at "Villa l\-lontmorency, Auteuil, Paris, France, have made a new and useful Invention in Condensers, of which the following is a. specification.

This invention relates to jet condensers, and more particularly to condensers "of the parallel fiow type, that is condensers in which the condensingwater and the steam or vapor to be condensed flow in the same I direction through the condenser.

An object of this invention 1s the prodnction of a jetcoudenser in which the air and other non-condensable, gases are discharged, by the flow of condensing water,

' from the condensing chamber into a chamber of higher pressure Irom which they are illustrated in vertical sections.

discharged into the. atniospl1ere. This and other objects I attain in a condenser embodying the featuresherein described and illustrated, a v

In the single sheet drawing accompanying this application and forming a part thereof, a condenser embodying my invent-ion is s provided A cylindrical shell portixn with a removable portion aad'incloses a condensing-chamber 4e and a collecting chamber 5, which communicate with each other through an annular nozzle 6, located within the shell portion.

The to portion 3 is proyidedwith a port "F which ls-adapted to communicate with a source of vapor or steam to be condensed.

An annular chamber 8 is provided in the top portion and adapted to. communicate.

through a port 9 with a'source of condensing water'supply. Annularly' arranged discharge nozzles 10 communicate with the chamber 8 and discharge jets of water-down .wardly through the chamber 4 and into the K! onannular nozzle 6. 'A.\'apor'or steam pas- Slgfill is'surrounded by the chamber 8 and is adaptedto deliver vapor or steam-into the space inclosed by the jet discharging nozzles 10. The annular nozzleG converges fromthe chamber 4 to the chamber 5 and discharges into the chamber 5, which is proided with an air or non-condensable gas deii'iery port 12 and a water discharge port 13. The port 12 is adapted to be connected to a fluid ejecting apparatus for discharging the air orother non-condensable I Specification of Letters Patent. Paitenfied Apr, 25, 1911.

4 gases from the chamber into the "atnibsphere. The intake of a centrifugal pump 14 communicates with the port .13 and the pump operates todischarge the Water .from the chamber 5. i I I The' vapor or steam entering the condenser through' the port 7 is delivered bv the passage 11 to' chamber 4. 'where it is exposed to thecooling and condensing action of the water jets discharged from the nozzles 10. The Water discharged from thenozzles 10 is broken up into a mass of sepa rate drops which are collected by the converging walls of the nozzle 6 and are compressed into a stream, thereby confining and mechanically carrying-globules of uns condensed vapor or non-condensable gases. This vapor and the non-condensable gases are discharged with the' water into the collecting chamberfif The-kinetic energy of the Water jet is utilized" to compress .the noncondensable gases'in their passage through the converging nozzle 6 and to'delirer them therefore condensed. The condensing water and the "water of condensation are discharged from the chamber 5 by the pump .14 which, if desired, may replaced by any r ciprocating pump.

I cc 'dance with-the provisions of the p n1 st .utes, I have described the princiof peration of my invention, together an! t ne apparatus 'which I. now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is only illustrative and'that the invention out be cariied'out by other means.
